Short Term Scientific Missions

2025 CALL

The aim of this call is to promote collaborations across Europe to meet the goals of the 10kLepGenomes COST Action. We envision 2-4 STSMs with up to 2000 Euros funding covering the costs of travel and living. The application uses the attached template and consists of a summary of the project goal (200 words) a working plan (500 words) and a summary of the expected results (500 words), together with a letter from the host institute. Applications can be submitted via e-cost https://e-services.cost.eu following some simple steps. 

 

Application deadline: May 31st 2025

Period of exchange:  July-August 2025

 

A STSM consists of a visit to a host organisation located in country different to the country of affiliation of the applicant in order to carry out specific work as part of a research project. In addition to research purposes, STSMs are aimed to support researchers’ individual mobility, to strengthen existing networks and to foster collaboration between individuals. The purpose of an STSM is thus to gain new partnerships, to learn new techniques and to gain access to specific data, instruments and/or methods not available in their own institutions/organisations. 

For questions related to the STSMs, please contact the Grant Awarding Coordinator by email [email protected]
